Massage Therapy
Cancer treatment asks a tremendous amount of the body.
Fatigue, swelling, stiffness, treatment-related tension, sleep disruption, and the emotional weight of it all can leave you feeling stuck—tight, puffy, tender, or simply worn down.
Our oncology-informed approach to massage is gentle, therapeutic, and tailored to your current phase of treatment or recovery.
Every session is designed to help your lymphatic system move, soften physical stress, and give your body room to rest and repair.
Read more below about the benefits and how you can add massage therapy to your treatment plan.
Helping Your Body Move, Rest, and Recover During Cancer Care
As patients move through chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, surgery, or long-term recovery, it’s common to experience:
Swelling or lymphatic congestion
Tension from treatment positioning
Post-surgical tightness or reduced mobility
Neuropathy or sensitivity
Deep fatigue
Disrupted sleep
Stress held in the jaw, shoulders, and back
A sense that the body is “working overtime”
Oncology-informed massage supports the body where it needs it most. Patients often share that after a session, they feel:
Less heaviness and swelling
Reduced inflammation and soreness
More mobility and comfort in daily activities
Calmer, more regulated nervous system
Better sleep
A sense of ease and relief
It’s restorative therapeutic work designed to meet the unique needs of cancer care.
